[blparent] kindergarten

				Just ask about observing though I haven't a
clue why you'd want to do that. A lot of teachers/schools don't like it
because it disrupts the kids. 
What you can do and are probably encouraged to do is have lunch with your
kid. You'll learn a lot that way. Also make friends with other moms and get
to know the school staff, maybe not as friends you'd go out and socialize
with but as humans. They really appreciate that. Ask how they are, if you
see something in the news that may interest the school mention it when you
go into the office, that sort of thing.

That's exactly right, that two separate subjects. First thing, I just wanted
to come to my child class and observe. But not sure how to ask the teacher
about that, in what words. 

Bringing in Braille things is a different visit.

I think you raise two separate subjects.  
1.  Most teachers are happy to have parents come in and observe.  I did it
with my daughter and many other parents did as well.
2.  As to whether you bring in Braille or other things, that's a separate
issue.  The teacher may ask you to come in and talk about your blindness but
other teachers have their lessons planned and wouldn't.  So, wing it on that
part of it.
Enjoy the time you're having.  My daughter is sixteen now, so, no more
visiting classes.

Hi,
my son just started a kindergarten this week. I would like to come to his
class just to get an impression about the teacher and the class  stracture
and so on. what should I say to the teacher, that I would like to come? Of
corse I can't say I want to see your work with kids and how you
communicating with kids.  So I'm just asking about nice and polite way to
say that.

 And second thing, I just thought that would be interesting for all, I
believe, if I came with short presentation about Braille. If someone did
that with kindergarteners and would share it here would be great, just
outline the information  I could present  to the kids and some activities I
might bring.  I think the kids would  be intrigued with so cool letters as
Braille.

Thank you all.

Tatyana
